LlNCOLN'S HONESTY.
,e -,werying Love of Truth of 81
Great War President.


The swerving Love of Truth of the
Great War President.
Mr.. A. II. Chapman, step-nephew by
marriage of Mr.. Lincoln, has this to say
of him as to why he was called ''Hon-
est Abe:
I'm his law practice on the Wabash
circuit he was noted for his unswerv-
ing honesty. People learned to love
him ardently, devotedly, and juries
listened intently, earnestly, receptively
to the sad-faced, earnest man. He
was never charged with bribery; MOTH
ing could move him when once his
resolutions were formed. There was
nothing scholarly in his speeches, and
he always rested his case on its merits,
only asking for simple Western JUS
tice, and the texture of the man was
such that his very ungainliness was in
his favor before a pioneer jury. His
face always wore sweetened and
kindly expression, never sour, and,
burning to win them, his tall frame
swaying as a pine, made him q resist
less pleader. remember one case of
his decided honest trait of character.
1t was case in which he was for the
defendant. Satisfied of his clients in
nocence, it depended mainly on one
witness. That witness told ON the
stand under oath what Abe knew to be
a lie, and no one else knew. When he
arose to plead the case he said:
Gentlemen, depended on this wit
ness to clear my client He has lied. /
ask that no attention be paid his testi-
mony Let his words be stricken out,
if my case fails. l DO not wish to win
in this way
"His scorn of lie touched the jury;
he laid his case before them magnif-
Gently, skillfully, mastery and won in
spite of the lie against him. From
such work came his Honest Abe I
never knew Abe to have a coat to fit
him; all were i'll fitting, but underneath
was big, hot heart that could adjust
itself to all humanity. He had at his
tongues end the little items that make
up the humble world of the pioneer
farmer Once at hotel, in the even
ing during court, a lawyer said:
SO Our case is gone; when Lincoln
quit he was crying, the jury was cry
ing, the judge was crying, and l was a
little damp about the lashes myself.
We might as well give the case up. ~

Forgot the Tariff.

In comparing the rates of taxation
per capita in different countries, Ed
ward Atkinson's figures are: United
States, $3.50: Germany, s12; France,
S18; Great Britain, $11.80. These
figures are somewhat misleading. In
this country local taxation would
greatly increase the rate per capita
given above. And in the national taxa
ton, that part of it which is put upon
imports is a burden upon the people
not easily computed. We do not think
that it would be difficult matter to
double Mr.. Atkinson's figures for taxa
ton per capita in the United States in
making comparison with other coun-
tries. Of course, if our rate were as
large as in other countries, we should
still have an advantage in the greater
ability of our people to pay, SO that
Mr. Atkinson's conclusions are correct.

plain to me how he had lost his proper.
ty, but the problem was too complex
for his limited intelligence to grasp
Pathetically he said: "The price of all
[ had to sell went down. Taxes kept
up and so did the price of all the arti-
cles bought. l could not pay the in
terest on my mortgage notes. My farm
was taken from me. That was just. I
had agreed to that when [ borrowed
the money. But there is something
wrong. l do not understand why whas
/ had to sell should fall in value, and
every thing | bought keep up. | am
an uneducated man. I do not under
stand this matter. / only know that Z
have been ruined, and shall never be-
lieve that it was my fault or that it was
fairly done"
| asked this man if he knew how
much money he had paid out for agri-
cultural tools and for clothing for his
family during the past twenty years.
He thought for a few minutes. and then
replied: somewhere between $4,000
and $1,000 and then added "AIl the
money | got was spent for tools, hard
ware, clothing, groceries aud fur
niture.
IF you could have bought your sup
plies for two-thirds of the sum you paid,
your produce fetching the same price,
would you still own your farm?' asked
Emphatically he answered: Eyes,
under those circumstances | would not
have borrowed any money. l would
still own my farm He arose and
walked slowly away from the creek.
He was victim of the fetch of pro-
lection of American industries He
had been ruined to enable a manufact-
uring oligarchy to control the home
market and to unjustly enrich itself. l
sat thoughtfully on the log and
watched the shabbily dressed old SOL
der walk through the dead corn
stalks, and wondered how long the fol-
lv of protection would endure. -FrQnk
